>with drag pack.

Naoki,

Here's some info I dug up on the '70 Torino Cobra from the November, '87
issue of Cars & Parts magazine...

7,675 were manufactured in '70, while supposedly only 339 Torino Cobras
were factory equipped with the Drag Pack option.

Standard were 14'' steel wheels with F70-14 tires, chrome trim rings and
flat "Ford Motor Company" hub caps.

According to the article, the Shaker hood scoop, hood pins, and 4-speed
with Hurst shifter were standard on the Torino Cobra.

429 SCJ Items:
larger cam
solid lifters
4 bolt mains
forged aluminum 11.3-1 pistons
aluminum intake
oil cooler
780 CFM Holley 4bbl Carb (standard 429CJ didn't have a Holley)
Rated at 375 HP @ 5,600RPM 450 FT/LB @ 3,400

When the Drag Pack option was specified, you had to get either the 3.91
Traction-Lok or the 4.30 Detroit Locker rear end.

If you're interested in a copy of the article, email me your postal address
and I'll send you a copy. Hope this helps.
